I did 100% mom stuff this week. I didn’t work. I tried to stay away from the computer. Mostly. I caught up on laundry. Our dishwasher has been broken for 23 days so I’ve done a significant amount of dishes. I’ve consider resorting to take-out only so there will never be dishes again. I’ve cursed some European dishwasher makers because I hate ours so much.
In the meantime we’ve resorted to donuts only for breakfast. If you live in the Twin Cities you must try Mojo Monkey Donuts (they don’t know me nor will they even tweet me back…as if) but their donuts rock so I’ll continue to stalk them and tell my friends.
I took Astrid to the zoo – TWICE. There should be an award ceremony for that. She rode the carousel at Como Zoo. We were first in line for the first ride of the whole season. I kept waiting for confetti or a key to the city.
Today I took the girls to see their first imax movie in 3D. Immediately afterwards we headed to Justice to exchange some items. Word of warning to you over 40 – if you watch a 3D imax movie and then enter Justice – YOU WILL FEEL REALLY DIZZY AND LIKE YOU WANT TO PUKE. It was like a great acid trip from 1985 but with 3 children in your care and a minivan to drive home.
Other stuff we did this week – and a review for you in case you’ve been busy doing dishes also and accidentally missed my blog – we started a garage band. I’m still waiting for it to go viral and for Toyota to call me and either say “OMG you’re amazing” or “Maybe you should consider buying a Honda next time and leave us out of it.”
Esther and Astrid’s room redo is finally done. It’s fun to hear the comments on what your kid room-sharing statuses are.
I love when my kids celebrate each other. It’s a parenting win don’t you think? Anyway – I hope they will be there for each other until they are 122 or forever – whichever comes last.
And don’t forget to enter for $100 worth of free house cleaning!
Have a great weekend. Don’t drop acid.
Have a lovely weekend, sister-wife!
Signed,
Still Pregnant
OMFG yes!

For some crazy reason I want one of my kids to take up the violin. I’m not sure if it’s because I want my ears to bled or I just like taking migraine meds, but I do love the violin, and it’s not like I’m going to take it up.
It sounds like a fun week. My daughter wants to go to the aquarium. I hate to have to remind her it’s a good solid 180 minutes away in the car (and that’s a one way estimate), so I’m very sorry but it’s highly unlikely we are going to the aquarium. But she’s welcome to go put the dog in the bathtub and watch her frolic if she likes.
Dang, and you know acid was high on my list, but if you say no…well, I guess I’ll resist!

I have several things to say –
1. Oh no! Your dishwasher! I’m so sorry!
2. J took the kids to Mojo Donuts and thought he saw you there. I was all, “Say hi!” And he was all, “That would be weird.” And I lied and said, “No! It wouldn’t!” But he didn’t listen to me. Oh well.
3. Let’s go to the zoo together because seriously? How much FUN would that be?
4. Love the photos, as always!

I AM the dishwasher, always have been. When I’m rich from the Mega Millions I’ll redesign the whole house and the kitchen will come with a non-human dishwasher and a working microwave because over the weekend, we said farewell to ours. It had a good run, bought in ’96 so I can’t even make myself be that upset.
Astrid on the carousel makes me want to steal and keep her. That sounds very creepy. Be glad I’m too far away and seriously not intending on kidnapping you at BlogHer this year for Astrid ransom.
